Have a fishing ethic

This is the second of my 10 commandments of fly fishing and you can apply it in which ever way it helps you.

2. Have a fishing ethic.

Respect the fish, respect the environment, respect the river, respect other anglers... you get the idea.

10 fly-fishing commandments

I am by no means the world’s best fly fisher, or the best fly tyer, but I have taught many people to fish as well as hundreds of school kids. Up to a couple hundred have attended my Nymphing Master Classes.
I have heard so many times: "I cannot fish", "I cannot cast", "I do not know where to fish", "I wonder how that guy catches so many fish"
I developed my 10 commandments of fishing, that I normally try and share with people along the way.

Since you got this far …


The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher was updated to a new publishing system early March 2025, and there may still be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
